Ditto. A mere three letters and some editing of a post from Oppma. See Calc? I can be good!

Just a small observation: it is interesting to see the real world 'hunter-gatherer' vs 'pastoralist' vs 'farmer' conflict coming up in SWG.
In real world farmers largely displaced the other two because they could simply outbreed them. (Higher food yield per unit of land -> higher population density.)
Fortunately it's not the way things work in SWG.

Hehehe. Here's a tip for you guys that I utilize almost daily. Write a nice ranty post/reply on whatever topics make you angry. Now here comes the important part...instead of submitting the post, press the back button on your browser! It is great therapy. Obviously, some posts still get sbumitted.

I use that technique sometimes, too Calc. It works great unless I'm so mad / frustrated / depressed that I can't stop myself from hitting submit.

I write them in notepad. Then I paste into word for spell check and then back into notepad and then into the post (if Lithium decides I should log in). Then I reformat and add smileys. I use too many smilies.
Any anger that gets past this is more than heat-of-the-moment type rage (and usually end up so long that the person it is directed against gives up halfway through reading it). Of course, those quick one-line heat-of-the-moment rages get through. Then I feel guilty about them later.
So a good sign that I am really frustrated is when I post a really long post with no spelling mistakes in it.
Edit: Or three word replies like "You are useless."

It is supposed to keep you logged in?
1 out of 3 times I try to log in it reroutes me to the EverQuest site to stare at some blonde bimbo with huge... tracks of land. Ok, I like elves as well as the next person but I've developed a strong hatred for that particular... lady.
To add insult to injury it even says Welcome vorpaks at the top but when I make it back to the SWG site it has forgotten who I am and I have to to the whole thing over again.

lol Lithium used to work great...it'd recognize me everytime. I'd go to the main forums site and it would auto-log me in. I saw Welcome Phenix1050 every time...now it won't remember me if I go back to many pages and leave the site. Every time I sign on now, it's a game of who gets tired first...me typing my password and hitting submit or the system popping back and saying "trying to authenticate your account through the login server" or some such drivel. Eventually, after entering my password about 5 or 6 times, Lithium gets bored (ironic, huh?) and lets me in.

I get it on and off. It works fine most of the time but really craps out if the forums are busy (like they were on patch day). Usually it keeps me logged in, though. Anyone want some Thread Hijacking xp?
